Hagure Yuusha no Kichiku Bigaku Volume 5 Chapter 1
The forest seemed to be crying.
There was no wind, but yet the leaves still swayed as if in sorrow.
Hearing a far off commotion Akatsuki promptly returned to Forestnium.
What received Akatsuki was an eerie silence, as if Disdia’s attack had never happened. Then within the demon race, it was not calm, the air was filled with a tight atmosphere, representing that this tiny village had already become prepared for war.
"……."
Just as he passed the entrance into the village Akatsuki was stopped suddenly by two familiar faces.
Izumi Chikage and Nanase Haruka — They were responsible for protecting their companions.
“——Akatsuki, you’ve returned.”
Chikage, who took the lead to speak, had a very calm tone. Akatsuki nodded in response and said,
“I forced the incoming soldiers to retreat. There should be no immediate threats….. How are things on your side?”
"We haven't even spotted so much as an enemy shadow, but we're still on high alert."
Chikage casually shrugged, on the other hand, Haruka lowered her head to look at her feet.
“The Concept Magic Barrier has been thoroughly reinforced, the enemy should not be able to easily enter.”
The three of them suddenly became speechless.
The reason why Akatsuki declared war on Disdia was because he suspected the movement of the armor knights, because he suspected they were dispatched by Disdia to attack Forestnium.
With the presence of Kaidou and the other members of Akatsuki's group from the other world, they were able to keep the damage done substantially lower than if the villagers had been without their presence. Which was an accomplishment in of it's own. But in their eyes it had not been enough. They had not done enough. And that was why so many lay injured while only seeking shelter from the battle, just like young Riruru.
Urumu was the leader of the village, who had unfortunately lost his life in the enemy’s attack. He died at the hands of the golden knight, who was by far and wide the most powerful of all the 20 or so invaders.
As the village leader Urumu was the one to maintain the barrier of Forestnium. Who knows how the enemy found out this information, but it was apparent that the golden knight came charging for Urumu.
Although meeting a strong enemy, due to Urumu’s sacrifice, among this attack, he was the only one that died. Urumu had set a magic within his body, the magic’s activation condition was his own death.
The moment Urumu died at the hands of the enemy, the magic within his body instantly activated, and transferred the invaders to outside of the village, at the same time, it enhanced the Concept Magic Barrier, to completely prevent foreign enemies from entering. Since the golden knight and the other Disdia soldiers were all sent to a distant location, it ended that day’s tragedy.
Half a day later, Akatsuki and the others returned from Sherfield.
“Time really flies, 20 days had already passed instantly.”
This also represents that Akatsuki, under Miu’s support, had become the demon race’s representative, it had already been 10 days since he had formally declared war on Disdia. These 10 days, Akatsuki had only constantly repelled the invading army of Disdia and did not attack Disdia’s territory. There was obviously a reason for him to utilize such passive tactics.
To blindly defeat Baram while angered; it will not achieve the outcome that Akatsuki desired.
……However, it was almost time.
These 10 days, Disdia had launched a total of 4 attacks, and each time, it was repelled by Akatsuki. As the amount of failures increased, the number of people trying to invade also gradually increased, today, they had even sent an army with tens of thousands of people. Just by looking at the situation, the next attack could possibly evolve into a large-scale conflict.
Presumably they next time the troops are sent out, it was the decisive moment using all their strength.
“——Is there any news that came from Melissa?”
Akatsuki suddenly mentioned the leader of the brothel guild. Before formally declaring the war, Akatsuki had privately asked “her” to find out information about various countries if it was possible, and regularly compile a written report once it was complete.
“There is.” Haruka nodded, and replied to Akatsuki’s inquiry.
“After this military action failed, Disdia had already officially requested help, they wanted Sherfield and Aleclasta, based on their military alliance, to send troops to battle, but since Sherfield and Disdia both had their surveillance forces attacked, it is difficult for them to refuse Disdia’s request.”
“Stalling until now before they were forced into joining the war, the fellow is already amazing.”
Akatsuki narrowed his eyes, and tried to figure out Listy’s situation.
While before, during the four countries’ meeting period had reached the conclusion of a duel, Listy was already in a dilemma.
So Akatsuki, after a fierce battle, had voluntarily resigned, and used a deep kiss to end the duel, and had also allowed Listy to save some face. However, Baram overthrew the decision of the four country’s talks, and decided to launch attacks by himself, which had suddenly caused all the hard work Akatsuki had done go down the drain.
Thus, Akatsuki had no other choice, and could only go down the remaining path in front of his eyes. Galevain was a demon race’s country, if he had seeked help from Listy, it would undoubtedly trap Sherfield for injustice; However, if the situation had turned into a war between Galevain and Disdia, due to the constraints of the military alliance, Sherfield will have to send troops as support, at that time, Akatsuki and Listy will be forced to fight each other on the battle field.
So if we had to express Galevain’s stance, currently it was a pressing matter.
Galevain’s only enemy is Disdia, and there was no intention to turn the other 2 countries into enemies ——Under these circumstances, it was likely that the immediate situation will become a joint force of Disdia and Sherfield together resisting Galevain, it was important to indicate this stance. If they do not make any representations, and fought Sherfield and Disdia without care, the meaning of this entire body was completely off. Whether was it for Listy or for Sherfield, this option will cause the least harm to them.
Thus Akatsuki inquired Haruka about this key information.
“Meaning that Meliisa had already understood the inside of “that matter”?”
“Yes, almost all of it.”
Haruka answered.
“Disdia’s fourth prince Alphonse, due to taking an opposed stance to this attack, had been arrested. He should currently be under house arrest.”
“I see, then there is nothing to worry about.”
Alphonse, who was a military-level that specialized in strategy, was already gone, the chances of Galevain winning the war naturally increased dramatically.
Aside from winning the victory in front of their eyes, it also includes diplomatic conciliation after the war.
Thus, Ousawa Akatsuki formally issued commands to Chikage and Haruka.
“Based on the information provided by Melissa, the next battle would probably the main forces from both sides, at that time, I hope that you two will also participate.”
“No problem, I have already been prepared.”
Chikage nodded, her attitude was very firm.
The two of them had already overcome the unstable state caused by the dimensional transfer, and successfully linked back the consciousness channel for magic. In short, Chikage and Haruka had already recovered their original fighting strength.
“I don’t have any opinion.”
Haruka continued to speak.
“Ignoring the result of the duel that was decided in the meeting between the four countries, Disdia’s attack should be punished.”
“I’m grateful. However, I would still like to remind the two of you, don’t try to force yourself.”
Akatsuki’s tone was very serious. Chikage and Haruka nodded, and their eyes revealed a firm gaze.
Looks like the two of them know the seriousness of the situation, there should not let their emotions affect them.
“How is the other people’s situation?”
“Miu is currently speaking with the young people inside the village.”
Haruka answered.
“They still refuse to admit that you are the demon race’s representative, Miu is currently trying to promote you, hoping that they will reconsider.”
That can’t be helped.
“After all, the moment the peace agreement had collapsed, you were no longer an agent for the demon race. And now you suddenly claim that you are the demon race’s representative, it's no wonder that there will be rejections from numerous demons… Even if this was Miu’s decision, the situation is still the same.”
“I see……But that matter, only that fellow can manage and deal with it.”
Akatsuki replied.
The youths of the demon race do not trust Akatsuki, just because Akatsuki is a human.
If Akatsuki had directly conversed with the youths of the demon race, there will be a larger rejection effect.
Thus, this situation can only be given to Miu to manage.
“As for Kaidou, he seemed to be happily taking care of the children inside the village.”
Haruka continued to speak:
“Many children are very close to him, with his care, it had undoubtedly helped many mothers inside the village a big favor. And since there is still fear within everybody’s hearts about the attack before, Kaidou Motoharu’s liveliness will undoubtedly help a lot to lead the children out of this fear.”
“Is it……Can’t believe there is a situation that he would also be useful.”
“Yes, I was also taken aback.”
“The two of you really have cruel mouths.”
Listening to the comments of Akatsuki and Haruka to Kaidou, Chikage could not help but show a wry smile.
“……As for class rep……”
Chikage lowered the volume, with an hesitant expression.
“She is still waiting at the side of Riruru, and whatever we say, she is still refusing to leave.”
The huge room was not empty, yet it was still enveloped in a breathtaking silence.
Being surrounded by the heavy atmosphere was Sherfield Kingdom’s Queen Listy’s office.
The magnificent office desk was positioned next to the window side.
Listy was sitting on the chair and carefully read the letter that was sent by Disdia.
On the other side of the desk, two loyal comrades that have fought together with her through life and death, Zechs Doltrake and Loutier Trum, who surpassed the relationship of Queen and Vassal, was standing there.
Until after Listy had finished reading the letter, then Loutier broke the silence.
“Listy……What did Emperor Baram say?”
“Almost the same as what I imagined. Based on the agreement of the Military Alliance, please send troops as soon as possible, and fight together with Disdia against Galevain……”
“About the actions of Disdia’s forces invading the forest, how did Baram explain?”
Zechs interfered. The most difficult situation currently was that Disdia had ignored the conclusion decided in the four country’s meeting, and sent out troops to attack Galevain. In the past, Sherfield had repeatedly refused the demands of fighting together with Disdia, all in order to clarify the true intent of Baram.
Thus, Listy read out the contents of the letter that Disdia replied with:
“——This time, the conflict that erupted between the demon race, the reason was because the surveillance forces had mistakenly entered the village of the demon race, as a result, they were under attack by the demon race, and was helplessly forced into taking actions to fight back.”
Listy read up to her, then angrily turned the letter into a paper ball.
“This battle that was suddenly started had cause damage to both sides, at the same time, it led to Galevain declaring war, I, as a representative of Disdia, can only express by regret……!”
Then, she threw the letter with Baram’s signature aside.
“That muscle-idiot, actually wanted to rationalize this act of aggression?”
Zechs’s surprise further aroused the flame of anger inside Listy.
“Outrageous……It is too much!”
“Since things have developed to this point, aside from rationalizing Disdia’s actions, Emperor Baram had no other path to take.
Loutier concluded.
“Denying the legitimacy of Akatsuki declaring war, would be the only reasonable excuse for Disdia to take military action, at the same time, it can create an image of them being the victim to win the world’s sympathy.”
“Furthermore, they could accuse Sherfield and Aleclesta, who have the an alliance relationship, by saying that the two countries are reluctant to send troops to assistance Disdia on preventing the invasion, whether such acts are contrary to their morals……!”
Listy bit her lip angrily.
For the people who knew the truth, Baram’s excuse was just simply nonsense.
But this was also common sense. In the political arena, the truth was often covered by what was called common sense.
During the four countries’ talks, Akatsuki, who forcibly pushed for the peace agreement, was the best example.
Aleclesta, who believed in the Erdia Church, had always believed peace was the most important, it was naturally understandable for them to take a stance of not wanting to be involved in the war; However, Sherfield and Disdia’s surveillance forces were both victims of the attack, their positional was naturally different than Aleclesta. Since war had already broken out for ten days, but Sherfield had not sent any troops to participate in the war, the conservatives inside the country had been issuing screams of injustice. Sherfield’s democrats had already stepped on tract and the Queen’s authority was greatly reduced, if Listy continued to maintain the stance of waiting, it was possible that before the monarchy system was abolished, Sherfield would have already been split into two countries.
……If Akatsuki had asked us for help……
Even the sound from her nose was becoming more erotic. While she was revelling in the pleasure, Miu could not help but think:
……What should I do?
Akatsuki’s palms had brought Miu an unprecedented pleasure, Miu was about to lose control. The strong and powerful arms tightly wrapped around Miu’s body, this kind of feeling as if she was conquered brought Miu extreme joy. Her body was gradually accepting the pleasure of being conquered, her defense was collapsing step by step, and finally declared surrender. The past feeling of pleasure had made Miu lose consciousness, but now she was still able to remain awake. This made her face the brutal facts.
Ousawa Miu had become more erotic than before.
At this moment.
“Speaking of which, I tasted humans and elf ears, but I have never tasted a half-elf.”
While her entire body was enveloped by a sweet pleasure, Miu could clearly hear Akatsuki’s own mutter. Akatsuki’s finger tips stroke back and forth along Miu’s ears, and her ears could clearly feel the hot breath from Akatsuki.
“N…No……I can’t hold it ……”
The intense pleasure attacked her heart, Miu suddenly begun to cry. She already could not deal with the immediate pleasure, but yet Akatsuki brought forth another intense pleasure. However, Miu was certain, Akatsuki will not stop there and she was gradually looking forward to the further pleasures.
“Ah……Fu……Ku……AHHHHH!”
After she swallowed the accumulated saliva, Miu turned her head and stared at Akatsuki behind her.
Akatsuki’s mouth and his white teeth. Ousawa Miu could clearly see, Akatsuki’s teeth gently bit her own ears.
“——!”
This time, Miu’s eyes finally rolled around and she lost consciousness.
——20 Minutes later.
Ousawa Akatsuki was currently at the top of the Sacred Tree in Forestnium
This was the highest point in the forest, in the daytime, you could even see the opposite horizons.
However right now it is late at night, what was in front of him was darkness.
Akatsuki quietly stared at the object hidden in the darkness.
Then at this moment ——
“You actually hid here worrying……Akki, you really seem like a boy in puberty.
Suddenly a lazy voice came from behind him. Akatsuki did not even have to turn around and could guess who it was, so he only smiled slightly.
“I only just showered, so I came to feel the breeze.”
“Just showered……Right, just now I met the vice president down there.
Kaidou said.
“Vice President’s face was flushed with an indignant and disturbed expression. Do you know why she was like that?”
“About that……I’m not sure.”
Akatsuki vaguely responded.
Under Akatsuki’s biting attack, Miu’s consciousness flew away. After a period of time, Chikage, Kuzuha and Haruka noticed that Miu had not come back and went to the bath to look. However, the bath’s entrance was locked from the inside, so the three of them could not enter and could only stand outside and wait. At this moment, the entrance’s door suddenly opened from the side, Akatsuki appeared in front of the trio —— However, completely nude. Haruka immediately screamed and escaped, Akatsuki could only request Chikage and Kuzuha to take care of Miu. Miu, who had lost consciousness, had a mouthwatering smile. Kuzuha could not help but take a glance at Akatsuki and Akatsuki did not mind Kuzuha’s reactions.
……During this time, this person was too stiff, she needed to relax.
Miu was the former Demon King, Galious’s, daughter. Strictly speaking, she is also the princess of Galevain. Miu, who knew her identity and responsibilities clearly, had to play the role of a leader in front of the Forestnium residents and attempted to become everybody’s pillar.
However, under this kind of state where she was overly nervous, she had accumulated a lot of pressure over the ten days. Thus, Akatsuki wanted to help Miu relax and have a good rest. This is why Akatsuki requested Chikage to use the woman’s bath. The current Miu had given her all to do everything she could do and only AKatuski could dispel the inner tension of Miu.
Finally, Akatsuki’s plans were successful, but Miu’s reactions were bigger than what he had expected.
……I can’t believe that the effects of biting her ear would be that exaggerated, this is a great discovery.
Ousawa Akatsuki thought: Next time punishing Miu, biting her ears is not a bad choice.
At this moment, Kaidou walked next to Akatsuki and stared at the same darkness.
“——The next time, it is the final battle, what are the odds of winning?”
A smile emerged on his face.
“No matter what, we will still need to be careful. If we want this and that, in the end, we may not get anything.”
Kaidou’s warning was exchanged with Akatsuki’s snort.
“Stop it okay? We are preparing to finish the goal that had never been completing since ancient times, if we are not a bit greedy, then how can we face ourselves?”
Akatsuki revealed an arrogant expression.
“Winning and signing a peace treaty after the battle, all of it are goals that I want to achieve. If we declare that we are going to lose in the very beginning, then nothing really happens.”
Akatsuki did not want it to be restored to original state, but rather wants to have peace as well.
“Kaidou, I’ll need your help. I’m expecting your performance, my best friend.”
“Best friend? These words are really nice……Fine, who told me I was worthless when I defended and allowed the enemies to take advantage of it? I can only take this opportunity to wash away my bad name.”
Kaidou gave a slight smile.
“But then again, wars could only have victory and defeat, the idea is simple……However, a peace treaty is different.”
Saying up to here, Kaidou suddenly concealed his smiling expression.
“Can you really see the path that leads to the future?”
“A peace treaty has huge repercussions, it is indeed a thorny issue.”
But also because of this, so that there is value to it.
“I will just do it……The last time I visited Sherfield, I already laid down the seeds, at that time, there should be a way.”
Ousawa Akatsuki revealed a confident smile.
He stared into the distance and attempted to stretch his hand into the darkness, in order to find the dawn of peace.
